Psalm 62-63

New International Version

Psalm 62^[a]

For the director of music. For Jeduthun. A psalm of David.

¹Truly my soul finds rest^(A) in God;^(B)
my salvation comes from him.
²Truly he is my rock^(C) and my salvation;^(D)
he is my fortress,^(E) I will never be shaken.^(F)

³How long will you assault me?
    Would all of you throw me down—
    this leaning wall,^(G) this tottering fence?
⁴Surely they intend to topple me
    from my lofty place;
    they take delight in lies.
With their mouths they bless,
    but in their hearts they curse.^[b]^(H)

⁵Yes, my soul, find rest in God;^(I)
    my hope comes from him.
⁶Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
    he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
⁷My salvation and my honor depend on God^[c];
    he is my mighty rock, my refuge.^(J)
⁸Trust in him at all times, you people;^(K)
    pour out your hearts to him,^(L)
    for God is our refuge.

⁹Surely the lowborn^(M) are but a breath,^(N)
    the highborn are but a lie.
If weighed on a balance,^(O) they are nothing;
    together they are only a breath.
¹⁰Do not trust in extortion^(P)
    or put vain hope in stolen goods;^(Q)
though your riches increase,
    do not set your heart on them.^(R)

¹¹One thing God has spoken,
    two things I have heard:
“Power belongs to you, God,^(S)
¹²    and with you, Lord, is unfailing love”;^(T)
and, “You reward everyone
    according to what they have done.”^(U)

Psalm 63^[d]

A psalm of David. When he was in the Desert of Judah.

¹You, God, are my God,
    earnestly I seek you;
I thirst for you,^(V)
    my whole being longs for you,
in a dry and parched land
    where there is no water.^(W)

²I have seen you in the sanctuary^(X)
    and beheld your power and your glory.^(Y)
³Because your love is better than life,^(Z)
    my lips will glorify you.
⁴I will praise you as long as I live,^(AA)
    and in your name I will lift up my hands.^(AB)
⁵I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods;^(AC)
    with singing lips my mouth will praise you.

⁶On my bed I remember you;
    I think of you through the watches of the night.^(AD)
⁷Because you are my help,^(AE)
    I sing in the shadow of your wings.^(AF)
⁸I cling to you;^(AG)
    your right hand upholds me.^(AH)

⁹Those who want to kill me will be destroyed;^(AI)
they will go down to the depths of the earth.^(AJ)
¹⁰They will be given over to the sword^(AK)
and become food for jackals.^(AL)

¹¹But the king will rejoice in God;
all who swear by God will glory in him,^(AM)
while the mouths of liars will be silenced.^(AN)

1 Corinthians 2

New International Version

2 And so it was with me, brothers and sisters. When I came to you, I did not come with eloquence or human wisdom^(A) as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God.^[a] ²For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.^(B) ³I came to you^(C) in weakness^(D) with great fear and trembling.^(E) ⁴My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words,^(F) but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power,^(G) ⁵so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power.^(H)

God’s Wisdom Revealed by the Spirit

⁶We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature,^(I) but not the wisdom of this age^(J) or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.^(K) ⁷No, we declare God’s wisdom, a mystery^(L) that has been hidden^(M) and that God destined for our glory before time began. ⁸None of the rulers of this age^(N) understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.^(O) ⁹However, as it is written:

“What no eye has seen,
what no ear has heard,
and what no human mind has conceived”^[b]—
the things God has prepared for those who love him—^(P)

¹⁰these are the things God has revealed^(Q) to us by his Spirit.^(R)

The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. ¹¹For who knows a person’s thoughts^(S) except their own spirit^(T) within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. ¹²What we have received is not the spirit^(U) of the world,^(V) but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us. ¹³This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom^(W) but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words.^[c] ¹⁴The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God^(X) but considers them foolishness,^(Y) and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit. ¹⁵The person with the Spirit^(Z) makes judgments about all things, but such a person is not subject to merely human judgments, ¹⁶for,

“Who has known the mind of the Lord
so as to instruct him?”^[d]^(AA)

But we have the mind of Christ.^(AB)
